Abstract
A display includes a rotary molded base with an elongate protrusion located along the parting line of the molded base, and further includes a frame having a pair of elongate legs with shaped grooves therein, the protrusion and grooves being slideably engageable to securely retain the frame over the base. The base further includes a concavely shaped face for receiving a flexible panel therein. Multiple frames are engageable with the base. Also, an embodiment of a frame leg is provided for interconnecting two bases placed side-by-side. Also, an embodiment including an extrusion having a sectional shape adapted to facilitate forming the frame is provided.
Claims29
A display comprising:
- a preformed base having front and back surfaces interposed between a pair of upstanding sides;
- a display frame with at least two elongate members extending in parallel and spaced from each other complimentary to the spacing of said sides;
- and
- a connecting arrangement wherein one of said upstanding sides and said elongate members includes a tongue-like protrusion and the other of said upstanding sides and said elongate members includes a mating groove means for interlockingly engaging said tongue-like protrusion to permit releasable sliding engagement of said members with said sides whereby said frame can be releasably mounted to and supported by said base.
A display comprising:
- a base including opposing upstanding sides, an elongate protrusion extending vertically on at least one of said upstanding sides, said elongate protrusion having side surfaces with connecting means therein;
- and
- a display frame with at least one elongate member extending therefrom, said elongate member including a shaped portion for engaging said connecting means on said protrusion to securely connect said frame to said base.
A preformed base for a display comprising:
- a main portion including a parting line formed around said main portion;
- and
- a connecting portion extending along a part of said parting line, said connecting portion including at least one elongate protrusion with groove means therein, said connecting portion being adapted to securely engage a shaped elongate member extending from a display frame, said connecting portion being integrally molded as a part of said main portion.
A system comprising:
- a preformed molded base of hollow construction defining concavely-shaped front and back surfaces adapted to receive and display panels with information thereon, and further including a pair of upstanding sides, said upstanding sides being spaced from each other and including connecting means integrally molded thereto;
- and
- a plurality of display frames having a pair of rigid elongate members extending in parallel and spaced from each other complimentary to the spacing of said sides, said pair of elongate members being shaped to permit releasable sliding engagement of said members for releasably mounting same to and supporting same by said base, said plurality of display frames including at least a first frame that provides pockets for holding articles, a second frame that provides a lockable arrangement for holding articles, and a third frame that provides a movable holder for articles.
